Do any #rstats people know of a good blog post or guide on transitioning from R Markdown to Quarto? I've been following the "if it's not broke don't fix it" mentality but not sure what I'm missing.

Has anyone created a US gov volatility index? I’m thinking of a measurement of tenure/turnover in appointed officials. Perhaps different indices for each branch.

One of Trump’s arguments to SCOTUS for immunity was that there was nothing to stop rogue prosecutors from going after political enemies. Sotomayor argued that there are a lot of checks on rogue prosecutors, including the grand jury. We’re seeing those protections against rogue prosecutions now.
BREAKING: Federal prosecutors said today they went to a grand jury twice to indict a D.C. woman for assaulting an FBI agent during an arrest by ICE — and were twice rejected.

Notably, she faces the same charge as the District's alleged sandwich thrower.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.
